I wasn't up to anything too difficult. I didn't sleep well last night and woke with a bit of a headache (thanks to 1/2 glass of wine too many at our parents' night out and hormones). Wow, a night out! It was fun, and for some reason, the babysitter can get our toddler to bed better than we can.
Pinterest led me to a few interesting recipes, and I picked one because I had a bunch of oranges and lemons from the farm and from friends. But it called for poppy seeds (I had none) and plain yogurt (didn't have that either). I didn't figure that banana yogurt would taste right.
So I headed to the store and used 10% of my weekly budget (ouch!) on poppy seeds (no cheap options at the close store) and a small yogurt. It was worth it! And now I have plenty of poppy seeds.
I pretty much followed the recipe here exactly, except that I didn't top with coarse sugar, because who has that? Not me. Still the hubby and older son loved them and they are almost gone. (No brunch today.) Pardon the crappy photo. I mean, the photos on the original recipe are awesome. I'm pretty sure nobody comes here for my photography. Just my witty personality.
The general weekend prep this week, in addition to the muffins, included BBQ chicken in the crockpot (for tacos), spinach balls (actually chard and beet green balls), steamed beets, plus lots of washing lettuce and radishes and hard boiling eggs for lunch time salads.
I also washed and froze dill for the freezer, and probably should do the same with the parsley, but I already have a ton of frozen parsley. How much more do I need, really?

I guess the good thing about poppy seeds is that you really only need a small amount for most recipes so those should last you forever. What fun muffins!
Sadly, the recipe called for 3 Tbsp. After two batches, I officially only have 1 Tbsp left.
That's $3 per batch, or $0.25 per muffin, just for the poppy seeds!
I'm getting the next batch at Costco!
